Pastor Luke accepted the call to pastor New Hope in October, 2024 after serving in different ministry roles and regularly preaching for several years, mostly in the Reformed Tradition. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Christian Ministry from Lee University, a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Western Kentucky University, and is nearing completion of a Master of Arts in Bible Exposition from Liberty University. Luke has a deep appreciation of Church History and the historic Christian creeds and confessions, particularly the confessions of the Protestant Reformation. He and his wife Crystal have been married over 20 years and have two children, a son and a daughter. Luke's hobbies include Christian apologetics and evangelism, lots of reading, and juggling stuff (the more dangerous the better!).
